Nothing yet back from them myself. How long did it take for you to get a reply? Did you send your questions in French, or did you did you write in English and get a French reply?
Don't expect too much on the reply... They will send you a brief answer (very brief, usually a “oui” or “non”) and then a copy and paste of the recruitment info from the site.
I tried your point of view, I just couldn't get my head that far up my ass!
No point in sending these silly emails. No one there gives a shit. If you want to join, then go and join. If you've got some important and not completely idiotic questions, then this forum will provide you with everything you need to know.

I wrote in French, asked them about an previous injury but all I got was “turn up and we will have a look at you.”Originally Posted by newb

As a veteran myself (of another branch of course) I can tell you first hand experience and first hand knowledge are better posterity than real life application. Stuff gets outdated and changed a lot, and often quickly.
Once you've got your reply, you will understand what I meant.
I came across legion-recrute.com a while before I came across cervens.net. So I sent them an e-mail & I rather quickly got a response. I must have caught the gentleman typing in return on a good day, what he typed was brief but very helpful (considering the question I asked).
What impressed me the most was what the guy typed at the end of his e-mail to me. "While hoping to have given you satisfaction, receive, Sir, the expression of my sincerity."
Deo Fidelis et Regi - Faithful to God and the King
Laudir Agus Mir - Swift and Strong
Cor et manus - Heart and Hand
Well, I finally got a response. It said, and I quote.
Sir,

Yep, at least they replied I guess. Do you think that was just a nice way of saying "screw the Yankees"?
hmm wait a second. That's excatly the very same answer I received when I asked about my criminal history. Hmm......
It means you have to show up for them to evaluate you. Everything is done in Aubagne. That's just the way it works. It isn't like back home and there is nothing wrong with that. If you want to know the answer, do like everyone else does, roll the dice and show up.

I have send emails to FFL. And I concur with Nick.

I've directly emailed them several times and never gotten a response. I did get responses to traditional mail though, but about other matters, the letters were handwritten in French and took between 6 weeks to 3 months to get a reply. Just give it a shot and show up for selection. Godspeed.
